But what are the secrets of those who always win during meetings? Why servant leaders have so many followers? Which leadership skills are essential for a project manager?

The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

A guide to successful projects of any size
I found thebook very practical for non-project managers. I lead many initiatives and process improvements that can be managed as little projects. I cooperate with people, and there, the leadership skills come into play. Peter offers all leadership, interpersonal and communication skills that are essential for project management. I particularly liked advanced problem-solving skills. I struggled with certain conflict situations, but the advice to classify them per category helped me view them differently and apply an effective method. The author provides basic and advanced techniques accompanied by a practical negotiation checklist that helps me prepare for difficult meetings. The narration is very engaging.

I am not a professional project manager but have broad management experience. Projects create situations that are more intensive than my daily management routine. Therefore, I recommend this book to any manager. If you can lead projects, then you can lead a process or department.
